We hope you’ll join us at “Artistic License,” a festive evening of boundary-blurring art, music and dance at the Goat Farm Arts Center on Friday, April 19. Local artists will test new ideas in the context of a seamless sensory experience. Hints: multimedia arts installations, live music, a mini-play and a performance for two people at a time.

There’s more. “Cocktails and Critics,” a more intimate ArtsATL affair, will precede the Goat Farm bash. Guests will mingle with one another and ArtsATL writers at the upstairs bar of JCT Kitchen, a stone’s throw from the Goat Farm.

Here are the basics. Details to follow soon.

“Cocktails and Critics”

Drinks, hors d”oeuvres and conversation with ArtsATL writers.

6-8 p.m., JCT Kitchen bar.

$150 per person. Includes admission to “Artistic License” and a continuous shuttle between the JCT parking lot and the Goat Farm.
